Josh, gas up the Gulfstream. We're going to Davos.

Or, more accurately, Monstein (which is accessible to the village of Davos by bus... naturally) Switzerland.

Monstein is home to "the last beer stop before heaven," where they make good Swiss beer, apparently. This beer is also brewed at 1600 meters above sea level, which requires special kettles and even a certain kind of yeast that can thrive in thinner air (ah, Swiss precision). The brewery itself uses all local ingredients and is trying to bolster the income of the village of Monstein and help save it from having cantonal funds for the school and post office revoked.

Josh asked me recently whether they make good beer in Swiss-land, and I had to confess relative ignorance. I mean, Hurlimann, while having a funny name, isn't anything to write home about. I don't know where we can find this Monsteiner Bier (they're not making all that much of it), so we might have to wing our way to Davos, hop a bus to Monstein and get a tour of the highest brewery in Europe.

Ok, so forget Little Switzerland. Let's just go to the "big" one.
